Gordon v. Florida Parole Probation

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Apr 10, 1980
382 So. 2d 798 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1980)

Opinion

No. PP-284.

April 10, 1980.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Willie Gordon, pro se, for petitioner.

Michael H. Davidson, Gen. Counsel, Gainesville, for respondent.


This cause is before us on petition for writ of habeas corpus and response thereto. The petition asserts errors in the determination of petitioner's presumptive parole release date. Administrative remedies under Florida Statutes, § 947.173 have been exhausted. On consideration of the petition, response and the petitioner's traverse, and attachments thereto, we find petitioner has failed to show his entitlement to the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition is DENIED.

MILLS, C.J., and BOOTH, J., concur.

ERVIN, J., dissents with opinion.


I dissent and would require the Commission to supplement its Response to our Show Cause Order by explaining how or if it complied with the procedural requirements of its own rule by allowing the Petitioner to rebut allegations that the circumstances of his offense were more severe than his conviction indicates before aggravating his matrix time range based on those allegations. Fla. Admin. Code Rule 23-19.01. Compare, Lupo v. Norton, 371 F. Supp. 156 (D.C.Conn. 1974).
